Jamey Johnson - Mental Revenge Lyrics






Well I hope that the friend
You've thrown yourself with get's drunk
And loses his job
That the road your travel'n on
Get's dusty rocky and hard

I couldn't make you love me
You only made me blue
So all in all
If the curtain should fall
I hope that it falls on you

I'll have sweet
Sweet sweet
Mental revenge
I'll have sweet
Sweet sweet
Mental revenge
Yeah

Well I hope that the train from Caribou Maine
Runs over your sweet love affair
That you walk the floor from door to door
And you pull out that peroxide hair

You never was my woman
Cause you were never true
So all in all
If the curtain should fall
I hope that it falls on you

I'll have sweet
Sweet sweet
Mental revenge
I'll have sweet
Sweet sweet
Mental revenge
Yeah

  31. T.... W....

    No one can cover a Waylon Jennings song and make it better, by any means. But I will say that Jamey Johnson did Waylon Jennings justice. Good on ya.

    T.... W....

    Except this is a Mel Tillis song. And I agree, Jamey Johnson does it better than Waylon.

    T.... W....

    waylon covered it twice; in the 60's and again in the very early 80's.

  32. J.... S....

  38. T.... S....

    jamey wrote this that's why

    T.... S....

    Mel Tillis wrote it.

    T.... S....

    Mel Tillis wrote the song, Waylon Jennings recorded it, and Tillis later recorded his own version of it.

    T.... S....

    The Waylon Jennings version is waaaaay better. The first is always the best. Especially if its Waylon Jennings.

    Waylon FOREVER.

    T.... S....

    mel did it on the album "stateside". Waylon did it on "jewels". both better than this.

    T.... S....

    Ain't NOBODY doin' a song better than Watusy!

  39. J.... ....

  40. J.... M....

    Waylon Jennings

  41. D.... P....

    I dedicate this song to my ex lol

  42. j.... ....

    are you havin a laugh...

  43. B.... B....

    I'm not gonna lie, I like jameys version of this song more than waylons

    B.... B....

    I didn't realize this went all the way back to Mel Tillis. Thanks for giving me another version to listen to!

    B.... B....

    Actually, Waylon was the first to record "Mental Revenge". Yes, Mel Tillis did write it, but Waylon recorded it first.

    B.... B....

    Mel Tillis wrote it, Waylon was the first to record it. Waylon didn't cover anything, he was the original.

    B.... B....

    he recorded this song twice; once in the 60's and then again in the very early 1980's.

    B.... B....

    Yessir... technology tho. Waylon was better lol

  44. R.... W....

    who cares brother

  45. C.... M....

    This is country music. period

  46. D.... R....

    this is real country

  47. g.... v....

    this is exactly how a country singer should be

  48. V.... C....

    Lovee it

  49. j.... j....

    Stuttering Mel Tillis wrote this classic and Waylon did a hell of a job singing it!!

    j.... j....

    isn't it nice to know that you wouldn't fuck an ex unless your new bitch wanted you to, along with her.

  50. F.... S....

    Mel Tillis, via Jamey. Now that's country...

  51. D.... S....

    I like both artists renditions but prefer JJ's because it so dark sounding , just like these feelings would be if you were living this , such as JJ's other lost love ballads .. Keep em coming 

  52. J.... ....

    No one can do a Waylon song like Jamey F'in Johnson!!!

    J.... ....

    And no one can do a Mel Tillis song like Waylon F'in Jennings.

    J.... ....

    Jußtin Timberlake

    J.... ....

    Travis tritt trilogy

    J.... ....

    waylon covered it twice; in the 60's and again in the very early 80's.

    J.... ....

    & found myself saying what a fuckup

  53. s.... ....

    It's a great song and both Jamey and Waylon did a very good job. Waylon would dig JJ

    s.... ....

  62. M.... T....

  63. H.... S....
